Today's pick in the Daily Anime Pick-Series where I pick one anime each day that I think is worth watching is Plastic Memories!
This anime tells the stories of Tsukasa Mizugaki who falls in love with an artificial life form, Giftias, that only can live for less than nine and a half years. The Giftias in question is Isla and works, together with Tsukasa, at a company that ensures proper retrieval of Giftias whose time is near their end. Failing to do so will lead to the Giftias loosing its memories and turn hostile. Now Tsukasa has do deal with the fate that awaits Isla and him.
As the story sounds it is a very tragic anime filled with a constant sad undertone. If you're in for an emotional ride then I would recommend this one to you.
Description
Eighteen-year-old Tsukasa Mizugaki has failed his college entrance exams, but after pulling some strings, he manages to land a job at the Sion Artificial Intelligence Corporation. SAI Corp is responsible for the creation of "Giftias"—highly advanced androids which are almost indiscernible from normal humans. However, unlike humans, Giftias have a maximum lifespan of 81,920 hours, or around nine years and four months. Terminal Service One, the station Tsukasa was assigned to, is responsible for collecting Giftias that have met their expiration date, before they lose their memories and become hostile.
Promptly after joining Terminal Service One, Tsukasa is partnered with a beautiful Giftia named Isla. She is a Terminal Service veteran and considered the best in Giftia retrievals, contrary to her petite figure and placid nature. Time is fleeting though, and Tsukasa must come to terms with his feelings for Isla before her time is up. No matter how much someone desires it, nothing lasts forever.
